Very true, but running it more frequently will be much less
painful. I believe xargs does have an option to limit the number of
parameters to assemble from stdin to avoid blowing past the maximum
command line length...Ahh yes (looking at the man page) -L <num> does
that.
The find(1) utility in GNU findutils has a -delete option which
makes it even easier, but that's not quite universal.
